The title of my blog describes me to a tee, I recently got back into my love for reading and wanted to share my thoughts. I started enjoying a glass of wine to help me relax and find time for myself by reading a good book.

Excerpt Reveal of Marry Me Mad by Katy Regnery

Marry Me Mad is one swoonworthy read! You don't want to miss it on October 21st!

Did you fall in love with The English Brothers? Were you hot for the Winslows? Katy Regnery's New York Times bestselling Blueberry Lane series continues with The Rousseau siblings in 2016!

For as long as Madeleine “Mad” Rousseau can remember, she’s been the “sweet” twin to her sister Jax’s “sassy.” But after an especially painful break-up, Mad decides she’s had enough of being sweet. Children’s librarian during the day, she begins visiting Philly’s seedier nightspots on a quest for adventure. When Cortlandt “Cort” Ambler, the ex-boyfriend of Mad’s sister, Jax, saves her from disaster on one such evening, an unlikely friendship is born between the rebellious librarian and the moonlighting pianist…and two broken hearts begin a journey toward being whole again.
Get to know the families of Blueberry Lane!
*All books in The Blueberry Lane Series can be enjoyed as standalone novels.*

Excerpt:

She
stood on the sidewalk facing him, a sweet smile on her lips.

Cort
gestured to his front door with a flick of his chin. “Want to come in?”

“Yes.
But we have to talk first.”

“What
happened to ‘Take me to bed’?”

She
sighed. “Fresh air cleared my head.”

He
glanced down at his swollen cock, all but bursting against the zipper of his
jeans. “I’m dying a little here, baby.”

Her
eyes followed his, dancing with mirth when she looked back up at him. “So I
see.”

“I’m
not alone either,” he said, dropping his eyes to her nipples, which strained
against her thin, billowy blouse.

“No,”
she said, her voice slightly lower, her smile giving way to a hotter, more
needy look. “You’re not.”

“So
let’s talk inside.”

She
shook her head no. “Here.”

Cort
sighed, hitching her flowered bag a little higher on his shoulder, waiting for
her to continue.

“No
talking about Jax or Thatcher,” she said. “If you talk about Jax, I won’t be
able to stay. I’ll feel too guilty. And if you talk about Thatcher, I’ll feel
too angry. Promise?”

“I
promise.”

She
took a step closer to him. “And this one’s big…No falling in love with each
other. We’re just about impossible, you and me, so we can’t—you know—bring that
sort of emotion into this. We can enjoy each other, but that’s all, Cort.
Promise.”

He
flinched as she finished. He could feel the involuntary muscle reaction that
narrowed his eyes and told him that it was too late. It was a lifetime too late
to tell him not to love her, because he’d loved her for most of his life. Her
gentleness, her quiet grace, the peace he’d always found in her presence now
combined with the scorching chemistry between them that couldn’t be denied.
Over and over again throughout his life, he’d looked for her, tried to find
someone like her, but his heart had fixed on hers so long ago, it was all but
impossible for him not to love her. The only way he could promise her was to
promise not to “fall” this weekend, only because he’d already fallen
years before.

“I
promise not to fall.”

She
smiled at him, though the smile had lost a bit of the lightheartedness it had
held minutes earlier. “Do you need any promises from me?”

He
nodded, closing the distance between them. “Yeah, I do.”

Her
eyes widened, flaring with heat, the black of her pupils obliterating the green
of her irises as she pressed her breasts against his chest.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.
Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.
Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times E-book bestseller.
In 2016, Katy signed a print-only agreement with Spencerhill Press. As a result, her Blueberry Lane paperback books will now be distributed to brick and mortar bookstores all over the United States.
Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home
